Chapter 1: Lightning strikes and I get a second chance

My story begins when I turned twenty five. I was out in a rain storm playing my Pokemon X game. I was battling with my mega charizard and thinking about how I'd love to start my life over in the Pokemon world. It just seemed like something that would be cool. Though I was torn between wanting aura and psychic powers from how the show had portrayed them. I knew aura had more uses but come on what guy doesn't want to be able to read minds? If you say "A sane one," then there you go, I'm not sane. Haven't been since I was five years old. Honestly that doesn't bother me though, after all it is only when you stop taking into account what you yourself see as right and wrong than insanity is truly debilitating. Well at least that's one of my coping ideas. Another is that as long as you aren't hurting yourself or anyone else then you are obviously doing something right. Plus I don't hear the voices or see the blood and gore as long as I'm on my pills.

Anyway back to what I was saying. I was walking through the rain playing my game humming under my breath and occasionally looking around me to make sure I didn't run into anyone. Little did I know it wasn't the people around me that were going to be a problem but the weather. You see the storm was getting worse, I just didn't realize it with how lost I was into my game. Of course I was enjoying my game but I kinda wished I still had a gameboy advance to play fire red and leaf green. Ah those were the good old days. Wait back on track, I was walking and didn't notice just how much the weather was increasing. Of course it didn't help that I was too stubborn and had told my friends they could meet me at the park if they wanted but they said they didn't on account of the weather. I'd replied that no stinking weather was going to make me hide inside. I stretched as I finished my latest battle and said aloud "The weather might suck but the game is great. If only I had gotten heart gold or soul silver. Then again the other games would be great too. Ah well." I thought about heading into a nearby cafe when my stomach started grumbling and started to power down my 3DS.

I put it in my pocket and started for a door when suddenly I was struck by lightning. I know I know your probably saying "If you were struck by lightning how are you telling me all this?" Well the thing is the lighting strike did stop my heart, but ironically I had a connection back to my own life. Now you're probably wondering 'What does he mean by a connection to his old life.' Answer, Arceus the lovely, beautiful, sexy, smart, strong, and down right adorable Pokemon goddess created a link between me and my 3DS. It allowed my friends to see my travels, when I was old enough to go on them, and talk to me through their own DS systems. Now I know you're probably doubting me, but honestly you have no reason not too. All I can say is that if you don't believe me at least enjoy the ride of this story my friend posted on my old accounts. Anyway, where was I? Oh right the being struck by lightning.

I was struck by lightning and woke up in a black void. I heard a voice asking me "Are you alright? Well I guess physically you're not alright, but are you alright mentally?" I started t reply when I heard another voice start whispering in my ear about was I Jake or Thanatos. I shook the voice off and prepared to reply when the first voice said "Who exactly are Jake and Thanatos?"

I sighed and said "They're two sides of the same man. Jake is the light, life, chaos, and pure elements, Thanatos the death, void, dark, and corrupt versions of those same elements. When I was sixteen I created the two sides to keep my mind from falling apart. I am both Jake and Thanatos. I can make both of us appear if this is a mindscape."

The voice replied "Please do I like to know everything I can about anyone I'm tempted to let into my world. After all I see you love Pokemon but if Thanatos hates them I can't see myself letting him into this world, or letting you into this world when you have such hate inside you." I nodded in understanding.

I stretched and waved a hand making my fifteen other pieces of who I was appear. Thanatos looked at me and the two of us said to each other, "Hello again old friend." Thanatos smiled and said "So who or what is talking to us Jake, you know more about Pokemon than I do since I've always been interested in the darker side of light and you the lighter side of our youth." I replied "Arceus. Who sounds a lot more feminine than it did in the movies. It wants to know that you and I aren't going to cause trouble in the Pokemon world. Well Arceus the fourteen animals and two men before you are all Jake Wolf. The wolf is also know as Lycan, the Kitsune Kiru, the dragon Dracione, the tiger Terran, the stallion Stark, the angel Sky, and the demon Asmodean. The six wearing masks are their dark sides just as Thanatos is mine. Each of them represents one of the elements of creation, or destruction. Lycan is spirit, Kiru is air, Stark is water, Terran is earth, Dracione is Fire, Asmodean Darkness, and Sky is Light. The masked figures are the same only the corrupt versions of those things. Thanatos and I are Chaos, Void, Life, and Death. I am Chaos and Life, he is Death and Void." At this Thanatos nodded and we stood back to back our appearances different but yet not. I was five foot nine, he was five foot nine, I had dirty blonde hair, he had black hair with blonde highlights, I had gray eyes, he had blood red, I had a tan, he was pale, and I had scars on my right arm, he had scars on his left.

Arceus seemed to study us and said "Then what is the point of the two of you being separate?" I smiled slightly and stretched then Thanatos smirked and chuckled softly. Arceus asked "What is so funny you two? I could just send you on to your world's afterlife instead of guiding you here in limbo." I smiled slightly and thought "You could, but you're not going to." Arceus laughed and said "No I guess I'm not because I want to know you better before I make a decision. Why are your inner sides so much like my magical creatures but different?"

I grinned and then said "Because your magical creatures are similar to creatures in my world. In my world we know about your world as you know, and we call these magical creatures Pokemon. Inside me are a dragon, a kitsune, a dire wolf, an alicorn, a hell stallion, a war tiger, an angel, a demon, a death fox as we call the masked fox, a shadow wolf, a fallen angel, an infernal dragon, a corrupted demon, and of course a forgotten tiger. I have magical creatures that represent who I am. Honestly Arceus we can't tell you we won't accidentally destroy your world. However I wouldn't intentionally destroy the place I was given a second chance."

Thanatos laughed and said "Jake isn't lying. Each of us would love a chance to start over from the beginning. If it's in a world where Jake's having fun we may reconcile ourselves and I may not ever have to repress his memories of nearly dying again. He has tried to end his own life to many times and that is why he created me, to hold all the hurt, the pain, and the darkness. I would love it if my burden was lifted from my shoulders. I also would like to see these Pokemon Jake has so much fun thinking about and wanting to play with in person. Though I get the feeling there's more to them than you or he are letting on."

Arceus chuckled and said "I've seen in your mind a small group of magic creatures you call anthros. They are the true forms of magic creatures but hidden from most humans. I want to know how you know of the true forms of magical creatures before I make any decisions." I whined at that petulantly throwing out my arms as if to say 'I really don't want to talk about my fetishes.' Arceus laughed reading my mind and said "Though this is Limbo it is also your mindscape. I can here your thoughts in other words Jake. So explain what you mean by a fetish."

I grumbled and said "A fetish is a sexual fantasy. I've always wanted to be around anthros or humanoid Pokemon and animals. I have a sexual fantasy of mating both gay male and breeding with female anthros. I get turned on by anthropomorphics. We call them furries back on earth. Furries are kick and I will not have anyone badmouth them. I love Pokemon especially canines and vulpines. So the eevee evolutions, ninetails, Arcanine, growlithe, vulpix, and others. I also don't mind the more humanoid or other races of Pokemon. I just can't see me fucking a rock or any of the inanimate object Pokemon except maybe some of the plant types. So yeah I want to mate with Pokemon if that stops you from sending me then I'll see you on the other side."

Arceus laughed and said "No, actually the fact you see magical creatures in their true forms means I can see you mating with them. I may even grant you the ability to talk to them and see them all in their true forms. After all most humans are blind to that which is right in front of them. However you will only see mature Pokemon in their true forms." I sighed in relief at that not wanting to see Pokemon lolis. She laughed reading that thought and said "I'm glad you're not interested in children that way." I nodded and she said "I can send you to my world, but your body in the old world will still be alive in a coma. So long as your, game system I believe it's called, works you'll be alive in both worlds. Maybe one day you can return to your old world." I shrugged not really caring if I returned to my earth or not because I honestly had just about nothing waiting for me back there. Arceus stepped into the light and I felt my jaw drop. She had a beautiful figure. She was six feet tall, had the plates of life around her waist in a sash, red eyes, pale white skin, animal ears, a small tail, hooves for feet, and two lines one on either side of her mouth. She smiled making the lines shift as I took in the rest of her figure. She had a voluptuous chest that was easily an F or G cup, a nice perky bubble butt, and a slim waist. In other words an hourglass figure. She looked almost human facially.

I grinned and said "I could get used to having such a beautiful god." She giggled and said "Thank you." I smirked and stretched then said "So what do I start out as a ten year old?" She shook her head smirking mischievously. I gulped and said "Please tell me I won't be connected to the game until I'm old enough to go out traveling." She nodded and I said "Alright then I'm fine starting out younger, though how young are we talking here?"

She smirked and said "Birth." I stared and realized with an adult mind I'd quite possibly be remembering my own birth and shivered. She giggled evilly and I glared at her. She smiled and said "Bye bye Mister Wolf." I stared at her and started to ask what she meant when I found myself alone in a cramped space. I tried moving my arms and legs only to feel uncoordinated as hell. I sighed and felt a liquid around my face shift then heard the sound of people talking. I heard something about pushing and realized I was inside the womb. I struggled slightly kicking and thrashing. Eventually my body started to come out head first though. I slowly felt my body being pushed out of the warm room I'd been in, not wanting to think about the fact I'd just stretched open my mother's vagina, and finally was held up. The doctor tied and snipped my umbilical cord then handed me to my mother.

She gasped and said "What stormy eyes." Her husband hummed questioningly and she said "His eyes are like a stormy sunset, a mix between red and gray. They seem to be roiling when you look into them. I think the name my dream gave me is perfect for him." Her husband nodded and she said "Welcome to the world of Pokemon, Jacob." I giggled and she said "He likes it." She put me to her breast and I automatically latched on suckling away.

My father, who up to this point I'd been thinking of as my mother's husband said "I hate that I'll have to leave the two of you for my journey." She laughed softly and kissed his cheek as I continued to suckle. He said "I'm sorry Luna. I love you but you know I must do this. I think however that I won't get to see our son grow up. I just have a feeling that something bad is going to happen to me." I could sense it too, there was an aura of impending doom about my father. He sighed and said "Be strong for your mother Jake. I know you're young but I believe I'll leave your mother with a letter I can give you. It should help you in the future with anything you decide to do and reveal a family secret." I giggled as I released my mother's right breast from my mouth and grabbed onto his finger as he waved it in front of my face.

I goo-ed and gaga-ed at him then let go as he called out a jolteon. It cried out "Jolt," then looked at its' trainer who said "We're off Jolteon. Say farewell to Luna and little Jake." Jolteon on all fours but I could see it had a human build. It had a muzzle, like all canines, fur around it's neck, rear paws, a furry sheath, and gold and white fur. It was easily five and a half to six feet tall. It slowly rose to it's full height and I realized it was five foot nine or so. It let out a cry of its name then walked out the door my father following. I cried out for him but he kept walking.

My mother sighed and hushed me then called out "Sky be careful. You to Jolteon." He nodded at her and then the two of us watched them walk out of our lives knowing they'd never be back. I started to cry as I felt the loss keenly both as a child and a man. It was like losing my grandfather in my old life but even closer to home. I cried for a good ten minutes before I fell asleep clinging to my mother. This was how my life in the world of Pokemon started. Crying for the loss of yet another loved one and falling asleep in my mother's arms. Little did I know that this was the start of a hard life, and yet it would be worth it.
